Long-Term Running Goals:

I love training with others both on road and trail. I also find benefits of running solo when I need to focus and regroup.

Fun fact: Although I prefer to run outside, I don't mind the treadmill for pace accountability and for the blind assumption that I can run really fast. I have a lot of secret treadmill PR's at 0% incline:)

I am a Mormon

 

I am married to a supportive and driven husband. Together we enjoy geocaching, hiking, camping, reading and playing games with our three rambunctious children.

Aside from running, I am a homemaker and a Mental Health Therapist. Running has given me the ability to better concert my energies between my family, faith and friends.

14.110.000.000.0014.11

14.11 miles total at 8:35 average pace and HR at 75%. Had some stops for a bathroom break and a drink without stopping the timer, but took aprox. 1:48 to run 13 miles and jogged for the last 1.11 miles up and down my street to get around 2 hours total. My only goal was to run the distance without pushing at all. 14 miles is the furthest I have ran for almost 3 years! Whoa time flies when your having fun, having babies:)

Nice cool morning down main Street. Felt nice and relaxed. Some hills and rolling hills throughout. I think my heart rate is slightly elevated due to being sick the last few days with the stomach flu, but didn't effect my run at all. I really need to start tracking my HR in the mornings to dictate my workouts.

I was surprised my legs were a little sore post run so did some stretching and a 15-20 min ice bath with some Naproxen...just to cover all the bases. All better:) Nice easy long run.

You are a running machine. For what time are you shooting at the Speedy Spaniard?

Kam- I'd like to break 40:00. The last time I ran it in 2005, I was 40:20 or something like that. Unless the course has changed, I think I will get around there again. Are you running it?

Regrettably, I am not. That sub-40 is a good benchmark. I bet you'll get it with almost a minute to spare. The elevation profile looks very promising...http://www.mapmyrun.com/s/routes/view/run-jog-map/utah/spanish-fork/3366811

Wow, thanks for that link Kam! I had no idea the grade was that nice. I'll take it!
